A question about the mayor/sheriff, we, as in the players, actually elect them right? and so the mayor/sheriff can be any other character as well? cause that would be interesting having a mafia mayor/sheriff ;p

I'm sure more people will step up, its only been like 2 hours. If no one else does, I might, but I mean I'm a total noobie so that wouldn't be ideal ;p There isn't too much to go on yet about who could be mafia (Only 4 people have posted lol), but what about the clue? any insight into that?

^ I thought according to the rules, it was illegal to edit your posts to ;p
but if you don't delete anything I guess its not too big a deal.

I do like how you looked at who doesn't have anything on their profiles, much harder to give a clue about one of them, but maybe easier to see if there is a clue about one of them (cause whats it going to be about other than their name/posts?)

I agree that we can't really make any reasonable decisions about who to lynch, until people become more active (cause theres still plenty of people who haven't posted yet ;p), especially the DT's, once they start role checking.

And with the elections, I think its most important that we do not elect a Mafia member into the position. But there's still plenty of time to think about the election, Day 1 doesn't end until thursday, correct?

So who would you choose to be mafia? a guy without any info in his content so you will have to make clues entirely based on his name? Or the guy with the profile with the one you're able to make very smart clues that will make people go :O bisu mode.


I like this, and not just because I don't have anything in my profile ;p but that said, I think the clues are the most important for the detectives to make choices about who to role check, obviously its going to be hard to be sure about what the clues are, and what they mean, so they aren't really grounds for lynching someone. What people actually post is far more important

I have decides to run for sheriff/mayor. I originally had planned not to, since I'm kind of a noobie to Mafia, but now I have some reasons:

1. I'm sure that the Mafia will try to get at least one of their members elected into a position of power, that's an opportunity they would not want to pass up. It seems a bit silly for me to say this, but I am not a Mafia, and I think its most important that someone who isn't a Mafia gets elected. I'm sure we are all playing to win, so we as townies,want to make sure we have a townie as mayor/sheriff. (even though I'm sure the Mafia will think the same way... but still)

2. I plan to be reasonably active, so that's always good o:

3. I like to think I'm a logical thinker, I won't get emotional about things, but I will look at how people interact/support each other (especially with the voting, of course the Mafia will want to place their votes on their own candidate), and try to figure out who both the mafia are, as well as the detectives, because obviously their input is important.

4. The Mafia will want to kill the people suspicious of them, or who look they they have the best chance of figuring out who they are. So if I get elected, I will not only post whatever I think, but if you want to message me with something that could get you killed, I will pass that on for you, since I have protection, I can say anything I want.

5. I do not think that activity determines ones role, if someones wants to be active, they will be no matter what role that is. That said, completely inactive people are kinda boring, and you cant really tell much about them if they don't actually post anything, unless it comes through the detectives. So, if get the position of Mayor, right now my plan is to kill someone with no posts, unless there is evidence that suggests that someone is a Mafia member, however I don't know how much there can be before DT's start checking people, there are more deaths, and more people most.

6. I will keep my mind open, but I will still draw my own conclusions. The Mafia will try to influence us, and as such, I will consider peoples ideas, and incentives, as if they were a member of the Mafia, as well as a if they are a townie. Much more can be learned if we look at both points of views.

7. I don't want to get killed by the Mafia lulz.

So yeah, vote for me!

Thx ^^

But again, all voters need to look carefully at the candidates (Me, Crescentia, Fulgrim, Xelin, and Tree.hugger so far) posts, and who supports who. If a Mafia gets one of those positions, especially Mayor, they will pretty much 100% kill a townie on the first day, and the power of 3 votes is pretty big, with all the Mafia together, they would have 8 votes, and used all together that is pretty big (about 1/4th of the population at the start, and it will continually grow), especially if they is indecision in the voting.

So be careful!

Directed at fulgrims point, about thinking about who to role check, as well as DT's and everyone else, the biggest thing we have for our DT's at the moment are the clues. as murders happen and we start seeing connections between peoples posts there will be more things to consider in the future, but as of right now I think the biggest thing we have are the clues. so, I pulled out the most comprehensive posts concerning them:

With regards to the first murder (L's) why is it people have so hastily concluded there are no clues?

To my eyes we have references of docks and tide i.e. sea/ocean, which might be a clue pointing towards Fishball

Also

"Following it straight to a cave, he saw a body at its opening, tenderly embraced by the incoming tide."

There is a player called softer

These may be a bit too straightforward, but surely they are worth some consideration? Also since both of these guys have yet to post; it will be good to hear their opinions on the matter.

Thanks for the enlightening post. I didn't mean to say that the first murder contained zero clues, just that there was nothing as far as manner of death goes. At the same time, I simply wasn't picking up on things. As for water-related things, there's also drinking.

What makes me doubt, though is that the section is written in segments of both prose and poetry. My thought is that the prose would indicate what the real clues were, so you might be right about the tender-softer connection. Of course, I could be completely off-base with the poetry/prose thing, so...

Hi everybody, I'm glad to be in this game of TL-Mafia. Some thoughts/analysis...

Show nested quote +
One night in a town of Liquiville, there came a strange event.
An event of history and would lead many people to bewilderment.
The sheriff Ace however was on the case.
Journeying to the docks by the beach, he answered the cries of a persons shriek.

What he found however, was a trail of blood. Following it straight to a cave, he saw a body at its opening, tenderly embraced by the incoming tide.

Rushing to the persons aid, he turned the body and knew it was grave.
A quick check of the pulse, and he knew it was done, L would fail to see the coming sun.

Picking up the body, he turned to make his way back to town, and failed to see the figure step behind him. With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground.

His mind raced towards the possibilities of what happened, and he reached for his gun. But before he could begin, the figure drew overtop of him and the sheriff was done.

Across town in his mayoral office, vx70GTOJudgexv sat at his desk. He was busy signing new laws for the town when he heard a crash outside his door. Getting up and exiting into the hall, he began to search for the sound. As he explored the nearby rooms he moved back to the hall and made his way back towards his office. It was then that he saw something on the ground by the window at the end of the hall. Moving towards it, he saw that it was a broken flower vase, with its contents now spread across the carpet, as well as the pieces of the pottery. It was then he felt a rush of air behind him, and something sink into his shoulder. The mayor vx70GTOJudgexv cried out, and crumpled dead to the floor.

When the town awoke from their slumber, they found the three bodies lying in the town square. Knowing that they were not safe, they began to hold an electoral race. It was here that the town began to be reshaped.

The lines that are bolded are written in prose. The lines that are not make some attempt to rhyme. I feel that the prose lines contain the clues, though it could be the other way around. For the most part, I agree with no_re's preliminary judgments - the broken flower vase, the "quick attack" - though I think that we're going to need more analysis overall to figure things out. Also, there's that bit about the cave by the shore... more in a later post.

Truthfully, though, I think we'll end up learning a lot more about people once elections are underway.

Well hi everyone, my first mafia game, not entirely sure how it works so bare with me if Im doing it wrong, however relating to the "clues" posted everyday here is what I got from the above entry.


My first thought when dissecting the post was this rather obvious quote:

A quick attack? Well with a player named QuickStriker in the game this looks like a kind of obvious clue. Also he was the first to respond to the first Sheriff Candidacy anouncement of Fulgrim, drawing attention to himself being "amused" by Fulgrim's "I'm not a mafia" comment. This intruiged me.


Secondly the death of vx70GTOJudgexv:

The only name with a reference to flowers would be d3_crescentia, Crescentia being

Crescentia (Calabash tree, huingo, krabasi, or kalebas, not to be confused with the calabash vine) is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae


Also in d3_crescentia's profile the quote is "once, not long ago, there was a moon here", and the murders being committed at night, when the moon is up? Yea I think this connection is a little thin, but I'm thinking out loud here.



p.s. am i doin it rite?



Obviously you should read all the posts as they occur, but if your lazy you can look at these spoilers...

As of right now, if I get elected I plan to lynch the least active person, unless there is a solid reason for lynching someone else.

Well no one really can admit they're DT UNLESS they're looking for a death wish. I mean if the DT steps up and admit to himself he's the DT, what do you think will happen? The mafias will auto-target that person and before we know the results of the role check or clue check, he's dead. Bam, gg. So obviously whoever is DT is hidden and cannot reveal as the DT but must act as part of the crowd, as the regular ordinary townie citizen.

That being said, I think the best case for the people running for positions is to state who they do wish to use their first lynch one as that the most important case right now.

Now, I want to move back to the DT matter and note that for DT, there are only 2 role checks you can do and UNLIMITED clue checks. If you look at the rules, that's what it said with explanation. To maximize and help the DT, I gave some suggestions back in previous pages on how to take onto this matter but I'll repeat again in a simple short manner. For the first night, I recommend the DTs to get one post that sums up all clues, have that post checked using "clue check" rather than role check wasting the precious limited uses you can for that. They must suggest and lead the way to the town in which direction this game must go to, and have evidence and reason without revealing you are a DT to everyone, or else you're dead. It's like in the anime deathnote. If Kira sees you, you're going to get written on the notebook and bam. GG. So be wary of that.


This is why I have voted for you. I like that you're already trying to help us newcomers and win the game. If you were to be a mafia, you wouldn't be doing this. Back to lynching XeliN
Notice he hasn't posted since I called him out!


If he were a Mafia, he would want to get townies on his side, as not to get lynched. There is what, a 1/5 chance for any person to be Mafia? There are no ground to rule anyone out yet. Everyone should be aware of accusations of peoples roles and the meaning behind them, weather the poster has a good basis behind their judgment, or if they have another purpose for posting, to stir townies up and set them against each other, or any other reason.

Question for BC, when will you modkill people for inactivity?


The other game had a lil discussion about instantly lynching the mayor once they are elected. I don't think its the most fun thing to do, and it would suck for the mayor, and if they have a special role like DT, having them protected would be worth a lot. It would take the risk of putting the Mafia in a position of power however, but I think it would be better to wait until we see how the mayor acts.

I just thought I would throw that out there for discussion, cause it was interesting to read about in the other thread.

@ Fulgrim, I'm pretty sure that there are clues in the first post.

But I do agree that there will be Mafia in both the frequent and non frequent posters, if someone is excited to play this game, they would probably be active whatever role they get. If someone signs up, then just forgets about it, or like doesn't come on TL for whatever reason, then they would be inactive regardless of their role.

But again, with no real reliable indications to peoples roles so far, I think its better to lynch someone who is inactive rather than someone who is active, just because they are more fun, thus why I plan to do that if I get the position of mayor.
